<u><em>The correct answer is: </em></u>4.2 inches.
<u><em>Explanation</em></u><span>
<u><em>: </em></u>We use the size of the largest dimension of the reproduction to find the scale factor. The largest dimension of the original drawing was 5 inches.
The largest dimension of the reproduction is 11 inches.
<u>To find the scale factor, divide: </u>
</span></span>

<span><span>=2.1.
Since the scale factor is 2.1, to find the smallest dimension of the reproduction we <u>multiply the original by 2.1</u>:
2*2.1=4.2 inches.</span></span>
This answer is already to the nearest tenth. The 5 is in the tenth's place.
Answer:
It is a mixed number because a fraction would be like 4/9.
Step-by-step explanation:
How you remember is that a decimal is in a place that makes it a mixed number,
Answer:
a) 1/2; reduction
b) 5/4; enlargement
Step-by-step explanation:
In each case, the scale factor is CP'/CP. When it is more than 1, the dilation is an enlargement.
Even before you run the numbers, you can tell if it is an enlargement or not. If the dilated figure is larger, P is closer to C than is P'. If P' is closer to C, then it is a reduction.
a) CP'/CP = (4-2)/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 . . . . a reduction
__
b) CP'/CP = 25/20 = 5/4 . . . . an enlargement
